- Vivo has introduced the Vivo X60 series in China.
- The two phones have many features in common.
- The X60 Pro Plus is expected to be announced at the end of January.
The Vivo X50 series has made an increase in the brand in some ways, as the Vivo X50 Pro in particular has delivered a micro-gimbal camera setup. This resulted in excellent image quality in low light and video recording without judges.
Vivo confirmed that the X60 series would arrive before the end of the year, adding that it offers a camera setup designed in collaboration with Carl Zeiss. This is today, as the company has now introduced the X60 and X60 Pro in China.
Vivo X60 Series: What to Expect?
Vivo’s two phones share several features, such as an Exynos 1080 SoC in the mid-range, 33 W charging and a 6.56-inch FHD + 120Hz OLED panel with a punch hole center (which is a 32MP sensor provides). The company also offered a camera system designed in partnership with Zeiss, and the two phones also share features in this division.
Expect to see a 48MP camera with a second-generation micro-gimbal setup, a 13MP 2x portrait lens and a 13MP ultra-wide shooter (120 degrees field of view) on both phones. But the Vivo X60 Pro also gets an 8MP 5x periscope zoom lens that can utilize up to 60x digital zoom. Interestingly, the brand also adds a feature to restore black and white photos and the ability to color these snaps.
Other notable shared features include an on-screen fingerprint sensor, camera-based face unlock, NFC, Bluetooth 5.1 and Vivo’s OriginOS Android skin.
Otherwise, the two phones differ in several other areas, with the Pro having a 4,200 mAh battery compared to the standard model’s slightly larger 4,300 mAh battery, and a curved screen versus the flat screen of the vanilla variant. The X60 Pro also has a glass back with a so-called satin finish that does not attract fingerprint grease. Furthermore, the Pro variant’s main 48MP camera contains a large f / 1.48 aperture compared to the f-1.79 aperture of the standard variant.
Expect to pay 3,498 yuan (~ $ 536) for the 8GB / 128GB Vivo X60, 3,798 yuan (~ $ 581) for the 8GB / 256GB option, and 3,998 yuan (~ $ 612) for the 12GB / 256GB variant. Meanwhile, the Vivo X60 Pro will sell for 4,498 yuan (~ $ 689) for the only 12GB / 256GB variant.
There is no word on the worldwide availability of these phones, but Vivo has confirmed on Weibo that it will launch the X60 Pro Plus at the end of January 2021. The firm alluded to a Snapdragon 800 series processor on tow, presumably the Snapdragon 888 SoC.
